NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt package and not the libvirt package as distributed by Ubuntu.

libvirt 1.1.1 through 1.2.0 allows context-dependent attackers to bypass the domain:getattr and connect:search_domains restrictions in ACLs and obtain sensitive domain object information via a request to the (1) virConnectDomainEventRegister and (2) virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny functions in the event registration API.
